<p>Simon's half-arsed sell on this dish is hilarious and worth the price of admission - but the meal itself is a keeper.</p><br><p>It's his riff on a Nigella recipe: <strong>SIMON'S REAL LIFE CHICKEN </strong></p><p>Find a wide fry pan with a good-fitting lid, then get</p><br><p>8 chicken thighs, skin on</p><p>and you fry them in 2-3tbs garlic oil with zest of a lemon added in, skin-side down, until browned.</p><p>Set the chicken aside... and then to the still sizzling pan, add in 500g Basmati rice and stir well.</p><p>Add 1tsp ground cumin.</p><p>Pour over 1L of hot chicken or vegetable stock. Season with salt and pepper, bring everything up to a simmer, add the chicken, pop the lid on then simmer gently for 25 mins.</p><p>To serve, squeeze over lemon, toss over some herbs and add a dollop of Greek Yoghurt.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
